  2. You Gave Me Strength (Clarke / Vale / Hicks)

 

This Is It (Pope)
Well I've known this girl forever
From the playground to the dance hall
From the same old dirty housing
We call home

All her friends I will call my friends
All the time we call our own
Well we used to stand together
Now I stand alone

This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, it's touch and go

Well I should've seen it coming
Well I should've read the signs
She was gone in the morning
Left me with red eyes at night

Well she couldn't even tell me
Didn't tell me 'bout the
Cause my courage must've failed her
Turning out the light

This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, it's touch and go

What if I should find you
Drag you to your room
That's the trouble you might strike and go too soon

Well I hope you make it big time
Well I hope you got it right
That you say you got no heart
To put up a fight

Maybe I'm new to this small town
But I still got more than you
Why don't you just try and call me
When you're passing through

This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, it's touch and go

What if I should find you
Drag you to a movie
That's the trouble you might strike and go too soon

This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, it's touch and go

This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, it's touch and go

 

You Gave Me Strength (Clarke / Vale / Hicks)

You gave me strength when I was weak
You gave me hope instead of thinking of defeat
You gave me joy when things were sad
Put in the good took out all the bad

I was a loser with you I won
Now I'm doing all the things I left undone
Brought back the feelings I thought were gone
And it's only the beginning and we've only just begun

Now my life has changed in oh so many ways
I have no doubt who I follow
I know you're with me in every step I take
Leavin' behind me all my sorrow

You gave me strength when I was weak
You gave me hope instead of thinking of defeat
You gave me joy when things were sad
Put in the good took out all the bad

Break

You gave me joy when things were sad
And it's only the beginning cause we've only just begun

You gave me joy when I was weak
You gave me hope instead of thinkin' of defeat
You gave me joy when things were sad
And it's only the beginning cause we've only just begun
